Ajoie-Canadian is getting a mega fine!

Daniel Carr, a player for HC Ajoie, has been suspended for five games and fined 7,600 Swiss francs by the league after delivering a punch to Biel captain Gaëtan Haas during a fight. The incident occurred on Friday, and Haas suffered a concussion as a result, forcing him to sit out for an unspecified period. Carr submitted a statement to the league, arguing that the final punch should not be viewed in isolation and that he did not intend to strike a defenseless opponent. However, the league deemed the punishment necessary and rejected his appeal for a shorter suspension. Carr has already served one game suspension and may file an appeal within five days.

Ajoie player Daniel Carr has been suspended for five games and fined 7,600 Swiss francs after delivering a punch to Biel captain Gaëtan Haas during a match last Friday. The National League deemed the strike a reckless act, noting that Haas was no longer engaged in the fight and was in a vulnerable position at the time. Carr had already served one game suspension before the weekend’s match against Zug. The incident occurred amid a mass brawl involving multiple players. According to league officials, Carr struck Haas in the face with his bare fist while Haas was already on the ground. This resulted in Haas suffering a concussion and being sidelined indefinitely. The club confirmed Haas would miss further matches until cleared by medical staff. In response to the disciplinary action, Carr submitted a statement to the league within the required timeframe. He argued that the final blow should not be viewed in isolation but as part of a larger altercation marked by intense dynamics. Carr expressed regret over the final punch and acknowledged its poor judgment. He considered one or two suspensions appropriate in similar cases. The league disagreed and imposed a longer ban. Carr will miss upcoming matches against Geneva-Servette HC, HC Ambri-Piotta, Kloten, and SC Bern. Ajoie has five days to appeal the decision. If upheld, Carr will sit out these four games. Haas previously suffered a concussion two years ago and missed nearly a year of play. His current injury leaves Biel without their captain and defender Aleksandr Iakovenko, who is also out due to a muscle tear. Meanwhile, Biel faces the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers later tonight.
